Girls only kosher hangout

Your girlfriend’s living room. Girls shmooze nightly for select hours. Boys occasionally shmooze all night. The rest of the time, they could only hang around. The mixed hangouts allow the girls to be around at all hours. And the boys to hang every night. Nothing better happens in a specific place.

You are 15 years old and in 5 short years more or less, like it or not you are going to face the reality of the real dog eat dog world so instead of focusing on satisfying your nerve endings by “hanging out” or doing other stuff that teenagers like to do that ultimately results in causing people to pass bad judgement about yourself try to keep “keep it together” for the next few short years and it will result in a lifetime of bliss.

Yes its a place called troll

“Hang-out” is a very wildly unreasonable, illogical, inappropriate, and absurd in the holiness of a jew, an ‘erliche yud’ has never had this word in their dictionary! not to be found anywhere in the Torah, Sorry, Drop-outs / hang-outers. and as King Solomon says: Kol Kevudo Bat Melech Penumo. but technicality there are other ways of saying that; as an ex. wanna be part of some kind of a program or organization and make new friends with erliche girls and erliche women which are very enjoying and satisfying on top of erlichkiet and yiras shumayim, there are so many organizations out here in Boro Park or Williamsburg and Flatbush for ‘every kind’ of Ehrlich Yiddish girl, who needs to air-out a bit,
we should list a few of them, but every school principle has knowledge of such,

The JCC in Baltimore runs Sat. night programs for Frum teenage girls. Perhaps if that’s not going on where you live then someone could start a program.

yungermanS:

Where in Brooklyn is a “Jewish kosher Gym exercise room”?

Seriously, I want to know.

ujm and 135847:

Your super-strict attitudes are one of the many factors that drive Jews away from the world of Orthodox Judaism and make them go off-the-derech (in my humble opinion).

Perhaps some creative entrepreneur (with good legal advice regarding local gender discrimination laws) will recognize a community need and open a venue for young women to “hang out” along with a commercial shtick (as long as its not a certain Thursday night special).

Directed to the OP:

Don’t let the well-intentioned, but ill informed, bother you. “Hanging out” is normal for any teenager, and the fact that you asked specifically for a kosher way to fulfill your desire for camaraderie is laudable.

There are many places where girls can go and “chill” and it doesn’t need to be to another shiur or ”chessed project”. Go bowling or ice skating or sit on a porch with a slurpee. Find a good kosher coffee house or art gallery (that your parents approve of… art can be great when not inappropriate).

The unwillingness to accommodate isn’t from das Torah, it’s from people who are too afraid to ask an open shaila. I’ve spoken to many great gedolim including several just last week while in Eretz Yisroel; a big yetzer hora of this dor is to asur everything to the point of causing resentment and anxiety.

Go chill, hangout, relax… in a kosher, yosher way. Make sure you have solid Moros to guide you. Hatzlocho!

Check out Ohr Naava. Ask your school to set up some after school and motsei shabbos activities. Nothing wrong with girls getting together to kumzits, play a game, have some pizza, fun, sports etc, in a supervised environment. This is what my Mesivta did for us when they wanted us out of the pizza stores on motsei shabbos. This was 25 years ago, but the scene was always the scene. And it worked.

Kuvult: Almost as exciting as going to Home Depot and watching paint dry or attending a seminar on advanced trolling by R’ Yosef.

fakenews: Perhaps to you “doing drugs” might mean taking tylenol for a headache. To many others it probably connotes narcotics abuse.

Ujm:
And perhaps to me “taking my meds“ means taking Ritalin well to you it may mean taking a double dose of MDMA combined with mushrooms and heroin.

The context of the question informs us, as to the perceived, meaning of the words “hang out“ in the mind of the questioner.
She seeks a healthy environment to spend quality time with her female friends, and perhaps to meet a few of their female friends while not specifically on the home turf of any of them, and preferably where there is some sort of attraction other than just the company (pizza, pottery, etc.).

To the OP
Good for you that you for looking to spend time in a kosher environment. I was a teenage girl too and I completely understand that you need an outlet. Pay no attention to the “tzaddim” desperate to prove how pious they are. It is completely normal and healthy for a teenage girl to want to chill and hangout with friends. I would honestly worry about a teenager who doesn’t want that. The fact that you are looking for a kosher, all girls environment to hangout in is something you should be commemorated on. Enjoy yourself, relax, have fun.
To all those who feel the need to shame this girl for the crime of being a normal teenager, I would like to send my sympathy to any daughters you may have.
